Happy April! You\u2019re gonna need some awesome Notts music to distract you from the ever-changing weather. Lucky you then – there\u2019s a live showcase at Rough Trade<\/strong>, a headline show at The Chameleon<\/strong> and a launch party featuring some cockles (yes, cockles) at The Angel<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

FRIDAY<\/b><\/p>\n

Phlexx Records<\/b><\/a> are showcasing some of their favourite talent at Rough Trade this Friday, including;<\/span><\/p>\n

BENJAMIN ZIEC and the RAREBREEDS<\/b><\/a> will have their debut performance together. Fronted by producer <\/span>TREKKAH<\/b> and featuring members of <\/span>THE AFTERDARK MOVEMENT<\/b>, we\u2019re told to expect a unique blend of Folky-Blues.<\/span><\/p>\n

DAISY GODFREY<\/b><\/a>\u2019s<\/strong><\/a> incredible vocal is filled with layers of Pop, Jazz and RnB. Her tone can make even the saddest of lyrics feel uplifting with the help of guitarist Ryan. <\/span><\/p>\n

HASHTAGOBI<\/b><\/a> dropped his debut album in January and it\u2019s like nothing you\u2019ve heard before. The album takes you through uni life, from student loans, going out and generally not wanting to adult, all over some insanely catchy beats.<\/span><\/p>\n

ONKAUR <\/b><\/a>released her debut EP \u2018First Run\u2019<\/em> late last year filled with a mix of Pop, RnB and hints of Soul and Reggae. Hopefully we\u2019ll get to hear some new originals on Friday night.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tom Gourlay <\/b>from Derby is also performing.<\/span><\/p>\n

SATURDAY<\/b><\/p>\n

THE VARLETTS <\/b><\/a>will be headlining The Chameleon<\/strong> this Saturday. The trio only formed last year but have already built a following and released their first single. The b-side is a bit <\/span>Libertines-<\/b>y, <\/span>\u2018Accused of Effeminacy<\/span><\/i>\u2019 – imagine Pete Doherty trying to say that.<\/span><\/p>\n

SUPER FURNITURE<\/b><\/a> are supporting. The four-piece are ready to headbang the life out of the place, expect heavy guitar riffs and anthemic choruses. They\u2019ve just been in the Future Session studios, so keep your eyes (and ears) out for that. <\/span><\/p>\n

CAMERON SINCLAIR HARRIS<\/b><\/a> is back again at his favourite venue after his EP launch the other week. The Beeston boy spent a year writing and recording his EP \u2018<\/span>Grey Matter<\/span><\/i>\u2019 and is filled with both emotion and \u2018fuck yous\u2019 to the government.<\/span><\/p>\n
